Who is Trump trying to exclude from 2030 US census and why does it matter?
Census plan would exclude undocumented immigrants and non-green-card holders, deeming them not 'true inhabitants'.
The administration of United States President Donald Trump has released a proposal to remove millions of non-US citizens from national census data.
The plan to exclude non-citizens and those who are not permanent residents from the next full census in 2030 could have dramatic implications for federal aid and political representation, analysts say.
The proposal comes amid the Trump administration’s broader immigration crackdown and efforts to reshape electoral power, including through congressional redistricting and restrictions on mail-in voting, which activists say could disenfranchise minorities.
California had the highest number, with an estimated 2.3 million, followed by Texas with 2.1 million.
